touchskin control consoles stand for innovative technology and unique design, due to being able to break the borders between electronics and plastics. For control consoles to meet the challenges of the automotive industry and the device manufacturers is getting harder and more diverse: control consoles should become thinner, lighter, able to be operated intuitively and to be integrated seamlessly. This is where touchskin comes in.
The touchskin Design Concept
Bothersome switches, buttons and wheels, complicated set-ups and flamboyant wiring are now things of the past. Instead, just like the Shy-Tech-Concept suggests, operating options are integrated into surfaces smoothly and modestly and offer an intuitive interaction surface.
touchskin control consoles offer a new world of design freedom for control consoles due to their 3D formed, seamless surfaces.
The Elements of a touchskin Control Console
The main elements of a touchskin control console are:
- capacitive control elements like switches, sliders or wheels,
- the backlighting based on integrated LEDs and light guides
- and a (touch-) display.
With these elemens any control console, be it ever so challenging, can be designed simply, elegantly and effectively.
The touchskin Control Concept
touchskin control consoles are operated with simple gestures. Touching instead of pushing, stroking instead of turning.
The surface topography can be shaped in any possible way, which is why the finger guidance for touchskin control consoles is as intuitive and user-friendly as never before.
A special challenge for any control console is letting the users know for sure, that their entry has been identified correctly. touchskin control consoles react on control inputs with optic, acoustic and/or haptic feedback.
